Review: ‘Spectacular!’ on Nickelodeon

A few random observations on Nickelodeon’s “Spectacular!’ made by two experts in the genre:
‘It’s got really good songs. Like real songs, that you hear on the radio.’
‘That girl who plays Courtney [Tammin Sursok] is way better than Vanessa Hudgens because she’s pretty and she can act.’
‘It is totally better than ‘ Camp Rock.’ ‘
‘Why do they always have to have a mean pretty girl in these movies?’
‘The guy who plays Nikko [Nolan Gerard Funk] seems cooler than Troy, but I still think Zac Efron will do better in his career.’
OK, OK, maybe that last is an indication that having a mother who is also a TV critic is not without consequences. But being on the backside of 10 and 8, my two older children are part of the post-’High School Musical’ generation, and I have to say I agree with them on pretty much every point.
